warning; I would put it under the genre of psycological horror so don't read it unless you like those genres. It has rape, a ten year age gap, and stockholm syndrome.
Most of it is glossed over too. The fact that the brown ml had to hate on himself for his skin color to get good with the parents who raised him made me vomit a little. The fl cheated on her fiancee. The fiancee assaulted her. There was also attempted gangrape. I couldn't focus on any of the "good parts" because of it. Just warning you so you know before reading as this chaos makes up 90% of the story and everything else is smut. I feel sick.
Im sorry that this is a long comment. And its been more than a year, but still wanted to reply to you bc you had some veeery good points. I have a love and hate for this story. I want to like it, for what it is as a short little nugget, but the things you listed and pointed out were the same things that took me out of the story also. Plus, as someone below stated, there were quite a few things glossed over.
What happened to Alice after being taken away? Was she arrested? Kicked out of school?
What happened to Heinrich after his father took his position away? I'm guessing he's still a Peince, just not the Crown Prince.
If that's the case, then is there another brother/Prince??
The King said its too late to be a father and he wouldn't dare ask Hansel to succeed the throne, so live life freely. But then...what is he going to do as far as work and such?? Will he marry into Karen's family and take on her family name and become the successor (if women can't in this story's worl) of the family??
There's just so many things wrong with this story that it outweighs the good unfortunately. I wish there were a few more chapters so things could have been flushed out more.
And this sentence, "Hansel, I don't know. His hair and his dark skin color makes him look cold."
Excuuuuuse me???????! As a "dark skinned" woman, I was disgusted.
OH! And her potential rape at the picnic and freaking almost-GANGRAPE....why in the HELL were they glossed over and not discussed or acknowledged?? Not even by Karen, who was the victim!!!!
I don't think there would be anything romantic going on with mc and her brothers-- that would be, ahem#－.－). Is there anything else in the story that happens in the novel to make it romance? Or is it tagged wrong?
I related to Ashida. And cried. Sometimes it sucks being bi. Warning though, 99% of the sex in this was not verbally consented to. I still liked the story though. It went deep.
At first it started well: Kinky consent. Then the love interest kept on pressuring mc into sex, until a rape scene happened. Ever since then it's been dubious consent. Somehow it still turned out ¿cute-ish? Could have turned out better. :( not a lot of kinky consent stories out there, I was hoping this would be one but NAH.
But, yes. I would read it again. :3
uh some experienced dom he is never knowing the concept of safe words :D
This glosses over the rape and molestation in it-- the fighting in this didn't show what it's like to be in "love." It's calles being in "lust." Real healthy long lasting relationships are built on trust, communication, consent-- and your partner should be like a best friend. Not like the frenemy trope in this-- shoulda left the middle school bullying trope, back in middle school. Gross. Not cute.
A wonderful portrayal... im sure the author is familiar with the feminist movement. Literally hit all the points i love this. I also hate it because it hit too close to home in what it's like being female at birth, and queer af. Ik I'm transmasc but I was also born a white woman and because of this a whole bunch of sexism is my reality every day. It's a lot to deal with. I wish more cis guys would read this to try to understand how much sexism hurts and affects women at birth, but i think most don't care. This is why my bi ass only dates women frfr.
Warning: this manga has intense sexism, rape, etc. It's a lot. But it hit home.
